Just when I thought Urban Decay was stopping with their Naked Smokey palette, they’re surprising us again with the announcement of the upcoming Naked Heat palette! Just look at all the warm-toned gorgeousness:
In typical Naked palette fashion, Naked Heat will include 12 brand new shades all inspired by what the brand calls, “amber-hued neutrals, warm browns, burnt oranges, and rich siennas.” Urban Decay co-founder Wende Zomnir told Allure she believes the colors will flatter any shade of skin, “These peachy, burgundy, red-based shadows look good on everyone because they resonate with the warmth that people want to bring out in their skin.” I’ll say. It’ll be a sad, sad day when the everything-warm-toned trend fades away.
For those wondering how to tackle the palette, Zomnir says, “There’s no rhyme or reason for how you need to use it, but there is some vision on how you could use them. On the far left, you have your base eye shades. You’ve got your highlight, you’ve got your all-over lid [color], and you’ve got a crease or transition color that could work for almost anyone. On the right side, you’ve got a dark shade, [Low Blow], that’s great to define and edge up any look. Then in between, you’ve got a big range of shades that can take you either very terra-cotta, very butterscotch, or very burgundy. There are a lot of options in this palette, and it’s organized so you can see them all. You can see the burgundies to the right, the amber colors in the center, butterscotch-y shades on the left.”
The Naked Heat Palette officially launches June 30, but on June 12 you can order the palette online during Urban Decay’s exclusive pre-sale, when it will retail for $54.
If (read: when) I get my hands on this palette, the first shade I’m dipping into has got to be Ashes—I love a deep, warm plum with my dark brown eyes! What about you, collegiettes?
